Professional Artist, Creativity Coach, Art Therapist & Registered Psychologist, this impressive and inspirational woman, Felicity O’Connor, is changing lives of creative people all over the place. Flicker and I have worked together in her business for over a year and I have learnt so much from her and know the inner workings of business like the back of my hand. So I was wrapt to chat with her and get a more in-depth understanding of her teachings, philosophies and stance on the things that hold people back...

- Perfectionism or avoidance?

- Everything boils down to fear

- Limiting beliefs are the core thing that stop us from moving forward or achieving what we want to achieve

- Parents have a very important role to play in strengthening THE RIGHT filters for our children’s brains

- The RAS in the brain is very clever - and a pain in the ass when you’re trying to change habits and beliefs

- When to get professional help

- The physical thing to do when you’re stuck, blocked or ‘having a moment’
